The chromoly shafts I recommended are upgrades. My main goal above was to get you off that 30 spline Super 30 kit idea.Haha - I am not looking to waste money that's for damn sure! If I can safely re-gear to 5.13 and not need to beef up either my Dana 30 or Dana 35 I am completely OK with that. I could put that money towards a Tummy Tuck. Should anything else be done when re-gearing to 5.13?
What I would upgrade, if you want lockers and 33" tires, is the rear axle. In the rear axle I'd go with a Revolution Gear Super 35 kit. In the front axle, if you're going to lock it, it wouldn't hurt to replace the stock 27 spline carbon steel shafts with chromoly 27 spline shafts. You'll be upgraded to the point you won't have to worry about breaking things but not over-upgraded anywhere. This does however also give you the strength to also run 35's in the future should you get there.
This would be a good front axle shaft kit to consider, it includes the stronger Spicer 5-760x u-joints.

This would be a good rear axle upgrade to consider. This one includes an ARB AIr Locker, they make a less costly version with the Detroit Locker like I used to run.
